Procedures I'm known for
Face and Neck Lifts
One of the most common side effects of aging in the face and neck is the gradual loosening and sagging of skin. This causes the jawline to soften, creating jowls, a double chin, and vertical folds on the neck. At my Atlanta, Georgia practice, I designed my Signature Facelift™ as a less invasive facelift surgery that creates a more youthful effect for women and men of all ages. This facelift procedure uses a smaller number of incisions and elevation, which eliminates that stretched appearance that some traditional facelifts can cause. This leaves you with more natural results and an overall refreshed, younger look and a faster facelift recovery time.
Eyelid Enhancement
Eyelid surgery (also known as blepharoplasty) can help with a multitude of issues including eliminating puffiness and under-eye bags that make you look tired. Blepharoplasty can also help improve your vision and give you an overall more alert and youthful appearance. At my Atlanta, Georgia practice, it’s a relatively simple procedure that can be done in as little as an hour. For upper eyelid surgery, I make a small incision along the crease of the lid, where the skin naturally folds. For lower eyelid surgery, that incision is made along the lower lashline or smile creases of the lower lid. Doing so means the scar is nearly invisible because it is in a place where the skin already naturally folds.
Cheek, Chin and Jawline Enhancement
Many people don’t realize that procedures like cheek enhancement and a chin implant are surgical options to help restore youthful contours to their faces and help sculpt a more contoured, symmetrical appearance. At my Atlanta, Georgia office, I perform cheek lift procedures on patients looking to lift sagging cheeks and reduce the hollowness under the eyes—both common issues caused by aging. A chin implant is a popular procedure for those who feel they are dealing with a facial imbalance that makes their chin and jawline look “weak.” A chin augmentation can help strengthen your jawline, lengthen the appearance of your neck, and balance out the size and shape of your nose.
